Meanwhile, India are in total control of the opening Test at Chepauk having reduced Bangladesh to 64 for five. 

AS IT HAPPENED, Day 2

Meanwhile, pacer Akash Deep's twin strike helped India reduce Bangladesh to an edgy 26 for three at lunch and tighten their grip on the first Test on just the second day of the match here on Friday.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (15) and Mushfiqur Rahim (4) were at the crease when lunch was taken. The visitors were 350 runs adrift of India's 376 all out after Akash rocked them early (2/5).

India, resuming from overnight 339 for six, were bowled out for 376 in their first innings, a total built around excellent knocks by Ravichandran Ashwin (113, 133 balls, 11x4, 2x6) and Ravindra Jadeja (86, 124 balls, 10x4, 2x6).

Their seventh-wicket alliance was worth 199 runs, which came off 240 balls, resisting the Bangladesh bowlers for 189 minutes across three sessions.

After that feisty effort, India needed a fine beginning to sustain the momentum, and Bumrah provided it by dismissing Shadman Islam (2).

Islam shouldered arms to a delivery, which was bowled to him from around the wicket, that cut back a bit, and the ball thudded on to the stumps.
